Dewpond Restoration 2

  • Wild Maple Field Summer Lane Wirksworth Derbyshire (map)
Harebells on the field

Another lovely day working on Wild Maple field on 31st August, this time restoring the old Dew Pond. Exciting to see the old cobbled paving slowly being revealed. 14 of us dug and shovelled and carried turf and soil away from the ever widening area, and then relaxed on the bank enjoyed a well earned picnic.  As we ate a large dragonfly flew over inspecting our work, clearly ready to move in whenever it’s ready! 

We will meet there again on Wednesday 13th September from 10.30 - 12.30am

Everyone is welcome. 

What to bring:

spade
gardening gloves
trowel
secateurs 
water to drink
picnic

We look forward to seeing you there.
